    Hi, nice to meet you.


    No doubt the Malay language equivalent of "You are welcome" is "sama-sama", however, the meaning of "sama-sama" is not "You are welcome".

    In the Malay language, when a person says "thank you", the person will reply " the same / same to you". Meaning that, "sama-sama" means the "same" or "same to you".
